UNM slipped two spots on an annual best universities list, but some
university officials have shrugged
off the ranking.
U.S. News and World Report
ranked the University as number
181 in the 2014 edition of its Best
Colleges Rankings. Results were
based on data it gathered from the
universities during the spring and
summer.
In this year’s ranking, the University fell two spots after placing 179th
nationally in the magazine’s 2013
edition. New Mexico State University, on the other hand, was ranked
at number 190.
Princeton University garnered
the top spot this year.
But UNM Provost Chaouki
Abdallah said he is “no longer
convinced that (U.S. News) provide
an important comparison scale.” He
said the study put more importance
on input factors, such as the high
school standings and ACT scores of
the incoming freshman class, rather
than output factors, such as where
students end up after graduation.
“Due to such methodology, the
only public university that ranks in
the top 20 is the University of California, Berkeley, at number 20, and
no more than 13 (public universities)
rank in the top 50 schools,” he said.
Abdallah said UNM’s rank is
misrepresented by the magazine
because of how many universities
tie in their rankings.
“There may be five universities

tied for rank 12, and 10 tied for rank
34,” he said. “If you were to group
the universities by ranks, since
those within the same rank are presumably similar, then UNM’s rank
is 55 overall, along with eight other
universities.”
According to U.S. News and
World Report’s website, it gathers
for the study “data from and about
each school in up to 16 areas related to academic excellence. Each
indicator is assigned a weight (expressed as a percentage) based on
our judgments about which measures of quality matter most.”
The magazine then compiles
a weighted composite score for
universities and ranks the threefourths of all universities that
scored the highest. The remaining
lower-ranking universities are then
labeled “second-tier” or “rank not
published.”
UNM’s rank has been consistent
in the past, Abdallah said. He said
that although the University rose
above NMSU this year, “such comparisons are truly meaningless.”
Still, Abdallah said that although
the magazine’s rankings are not perfectly accurate, he still thinks that
good publicity is essential for the
University.
“This and similar rankings are
the window through which some
students become aware of us, and
I know that we will continue to improve in all rankings based on our
own strategies,” he said. “In other
words, these rankings are not a goal
for us, but they do represent one
lens through which we are compared to similar institutions.”
UNM President Robert Frank
said he doubts the significance of
the rankings.
“They change these rankings
in terms of magazine sales, so it’s
hard to be too excited about these
rankings,” he said. “I think that these
are not fair. I think UNM is more
prestigious than that what it gets
credit for. These rankings are not the
best measure of a university’s caliber or quality in my view.”
Frank said the rankings “do not
have scientific basis,” and that it is
irrelevant whether UNM rises up in
the ranks in the coming years.
“It depends on what they do to
sell the magazine next year,” he said.
But UNM has gotten good reviews from the same magazine’s
best graduate programs rankings in
the past, Abdallah said. He said the
magazine ranked UNM’s rural medicine graduate program as the second best in the country.
Abdallah said he is unsure
whether UNM’s rank will rise or
fall next year. But he still believes
that the ranking is not an accurate
measure of the University’s achievement, he said.
“By ranking according to different criteria, UNM rises or falls
compared to its peers,” he said.
“Rankings only matter if they reflect our values, and they should be
placed in context.”

Christin Apodaca stands next to her piece “Stream of Consciousness” during the juried art show inside the John Sommers Gallery in the Art
Building on Friday. Apodaca was the second place winner in the show, which runs through Friday.

After decades, UNM’s art arena reopens to showcase student
projects, and to vie against each
other for prizes.
Paintings, photographs and
other artworks were displayed in
the John Sommers Gallery in the
Art Building Friday night as part
of a juried art exhibit. The exhibit was the first at UNM in about
20 years and featured 37 undergraduate student artists. The 37
exhibited students were selected
from a pool of 100 — only three
walked away with an award. The
exhibit runs through Friday.
Rob Rix, a third-year MFA student in sculpture who organized
the show, said he was excited to
bring back a long-lost art tradition on campus.
“Nobody currently working
here remembers it happening in
the time that they’ve been working here … I decided that it was
time to bring it back,” he said.
Rix said he decided to bring
back the show because he believed no one would have done
so otherwise.
“I decided to bring this back
for the same reason that I wear
a tie to work every day,” he said.
“I believed that nobody else in
the department was going to do
it. During the time that UNM has
eliminated its standard for juried
show, almost every other university in the country adopted it as a
standard.”
Rix said he contacted David
Leigh, a UNM art alumnus, to
serve as the judge for the show.
Rix said 100 students participated in the event. Each was allowed to submit three art pieces,

Embryos
and
Ethanol

Clean
slate

see Page 5

see Page 7

so Leigh had to choose from 300
pieces in total.
Planning the event singlehandedly, Rix said he was even
willing to pay for the event
himself.
“Originally, I was actually using my paycheck from the department to finance the prize money
and fund the food,” he said. “But
the chair got back to me. (On
Thursday), I received a phone
call saying the department would
be reimbursing me in full for the
prize money of the show.”
Among the 37 individuals featured, three winners were selected in the show. The first-place
winner received $300, the second-place winner $200, and the
third-place winner $100.
Rix said the show represents
the wide array of art programs
offered by the University.
“We have representatives from
each area: sculpture, painting,
photography, printmaking,” he
said. “We also have individuals
who are in their first semester as
freshmen to individuals entering
their final year in the program.”
Leigh said he based his decisions for winners on “craftsmanship, first and foremost, and
beyond that, just trying to get
somebody really engaged in contemporary issues and trying to
visualize interesting ideas. I was
just trying to find things I was excited about.”
Despite his schedule, Leigh
said he found the time to jury the
show because he believed in its
essence.
“I was honored to be asked,”
he said. “It was a question of
whether I had the time. I made
the time because it’s really important to try to capture the energy of undergraduate students
and to sort of give them an opportunity to show themselves off
to each other.”
And he expects that the juried

show will become a campus
tradition again, he said.
“I think that whenever something like this could gain traction, it creates a tradition that
people could look forward to every year,” he said.
Raquee Rivera, a sophomore
majoring in photography, said
she participated in the show
“on a whim,” and that she was
shocked to see her pieces in it.
She said that being featured in
the gallery might help her in her
career path.
“I think of it as a little minigoal,” she said. “Maybe it will
help me on the future. Maybe
they would like that, maybe they
won’t.”
Jeremy Wood, a senior majoring in art education, said he is
proud of himself for winning a
spot in the gallery.
“There’s a sense of accomplishment,” he said. “I’ve never
really gotten myself to think that
I’ll be in a gallery, and now I’m in
a gallery.”
Rix said he believes the show
will help young artists in their
future.
“It gives them a real-life opportunity to apply to a show
but in a more comfortable way,”
he said. “There are a lot of juried shows that happen in the
country, and it’s kind of a standard for artists to participate in
a show, either getting rejected or
accepted.”
And he is optimistic that there
will be another juried art show
next year, he said.
“There’s a gallery position
here that they’re going to be attaching the responsibility to,” he
said. “So it will continue every
year for as long as it lasts, hopefully — hopefully forever.”

If
students
thought senior year
of high school was
the last chance to
enjoy all the revelry
and fun of homecoming, they were
wrong. Pep rallies,
games, dances and
the homecoming
court elections have
arrived at UNM.
Fourteen men
and women are
in the running for a crown, a diverse group of students from different groups and majors, all of
whom are hoping to win the title
of homecoming king or queen.
Candidates have been shaking hands, Tweeting and creating
Facebook events for their campaigns and participating in recent
ASUNM events as part of their
plan to win students’ favor and
their votes.
Students who wish to cast their
opinion can do so on the main
floor of the SUB Wednesday from
9 a.m. until 5 p.m., next to the
Welcome Desk. As only undergraduate students are eligible to
run, only undergraduates are eligible to vote.
The top three candidates for
both titles will be announced Friday between noon and 1 p.m. at
the Homecoming All-Sports Pep
Rally in the SUB Atrium. The final
crowns will be placed Saturday
night at the Homecoming Game
at the UNM Football Stadium.
Hopefuls are required to meet
several requirements: They must
be enrolled in at least six credit
hours, carry at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA and not be on any University probation, as well as be an
undergraduate student on main
campus.

Media misrepresents
Pope Francis interview
Editor,
The Jesuit magazine “America” published
an interview with Pope Francis. During
the 12,000-word interview, Pope Francis
commented on artificial contraceptives,
abortion and homosexuality. Pope Francis
stated that the Catholic Church cannot talk
about these issues all of the time. In regard
to these subjects, he stated that the primary
focus must be on respecting the dignity of the
person and not on condemning the sinner.
These comments caught the media’s attention. They made it appear that Pope
Francis is possibly changing the teaching of
the Catholic Church on these often divisive
issues. The media’s presentation of Pope
Francis’ words is far from the truth.
All one has to do is examine the
Catechism of the Catholic Church in order
to understand Pope Francis’ words. The
Catechism is 825 pages. The subjects of
abortion, homosexuality and artificial
contraceptives make up several pages of the
Catechism. So obviously, these subjects are
not talked about all the time. These subjects
are presented within the overall context of
the Christian religion.
The subject of Christian marriage makes
up larger sections of the Catechism, especially in the sections on creation, where
God made human beings as male and female, in the section on the sacrament of
marriage and the section on the commandment “thou shall not commit adultery.”
Within the overall context of God’s plan for
marriage, the subjects of artificial contraceptives, abortion and homosexual acts are
discussed and outright rejected as contrary
to Jesus’ teachings on marriage.
Pope Francis is articulating that the
church’s moral teachings on certain issues must be presented and understood
within the larger context of God’s creation and Jesus’ Gospel. Only in this context do the church’s moral principles find
their foundation.
Pope Francis stated that the primary focus of the church must be on the dignity of
the person. This is an expression of Jesus’
attitude toward humanity, which was one of
love, mercy and salvation. One of the greatest examples of this is Jesus’ actions toward
the woman caught in adultery.
The scribes and Pharisees told Jesus that
a woman caught in adultery must be stoned.
Jesus replied, “Let the one among you who
is without sin be the first to throw a stone
at her.” (John 8:7). After this, the people left
without injuring the woman. Jesus concluded the incident with these words, “Neither
do I condemn you. Go and from now on do
not sin anymore.” (John 8:11).
The reason many people fail to understand
Pope Francis and the Christian religion is
because they fail to understand Jesus. Jesus
Christ came into the world to save sinners
by bringing them into union with God. God
loves human beings and out of his love he
offers mercy and forgiveness.
Here is the part of Jesus’ message that
many people ignore: It is also out of love
and concern for human dignity that he calls
us to repentance and conversion, which is
to stop sinning and to turn back to obedience to God.

Dr. Peg’s Prescription
Flu shot campaign honors past UNM student

“After Raymond died, some people
thought I should get over it. But you
never get over the death of a child,” Elaine
Plotkin told me.
Elaine’s son Raymond was a freshman at
UNM in the fall of 2009, the year the H1N1
flu took the nation by surprise. Raymond
got his regular flu shot on time, but unfortunately the vaccine did not yet cover the
new strain. Even as the CDC scrambled to
create a vaccine for the deadly H1N1, Raymond contracted the new flu, and in spite
of heroic work by UNMH medical staff,
H1N1 took his life. He was just six weeks
shy of his 19th birthday.
Elaine and Ronnie Plotkin don’t want
any more parents to lose their children to
flu. They started a flu shot awareness campaign called “Take One for Raymond.”
“We are providing Raymond a living
legacy by lending his story,” Elaine said.
Their efforts in New Mexico and Texas and
across the country have resulted in many
people getting immunized who never did
before.
This means a lot to the Plotkins, who
are acutely aware that the flu does not
discriminate.
“Our intent is not to scare anyone,”
Elaine said. “We want to raise awareness
and get people to at least think about getting a flu shot.”
Every year since Raymond’s death, Student Health and Counseling (SHAC) has
dedicated its flu shot clinics to the young
engineering student. This year, we have
a very special addition to the event. Raymond’s parents are flying in from Texas to
help anyone who wants to participate in

“Take One for Raymond” this Wednesday
and Thursday.
Raymond would have graduated from
the College of Engineering this past May.
His father, Ronnie, flew to Albuquerque
from their home in Texas to attend the
graduation ceremony. Ronnie had not
been here since his son was in the hospital. He sat silently in the auditorium as
Raymond’s name was read and his story
shared before the actual graduation ceremony began. That ceremony took place
over Mother’s Day weekend, and Elaine
was not quite ready to return to Raymond’s
home away from home. She stayed in Texas, not far from Raymond’s older brother,
Jason and sister-in-law, Aliza.
“Since Raymond died, our lives have
taken a different path than they would
have,” Elaine said. Grieving has been a difficult process, but “we have made progress,”
she said, thanks partly to their involvement
with Compassionate Friends, a nonprofit organization that brings together those
who have suffered the death of a child.
Raymond died on a Wednesday, was
buried in Houston on Sunday, and the
Plotkins attended their first grief support
meeting with Compassionate Friends on
Tuesday, two days later. They have become very involved with the organization,
to the point of Ronnie serving on a panel
at the national conference in Boston this
past July.
“It’s a club no parent wants to belong
to,” as Elaine describes it. Compassionate Friends has been deeply important to
the Plotkins, although, of course, “I would
give it all up in a minute if Raymond could

D

be here,” she said.
Elaine is ready to come to UNM now.
She and Ronnie see visiting Raymond’s
beloved university as an important part
of their grieving process. But they are also
coming “as a tribute to Raymond” and to
lend a hand with the “Take One for Raymond” flu clinics.
They will be here Wednesday and
Thursday, helping to sign up the hundreds
of students, staff and faculty that regularly
take advantage of the free immunizations.
The Plotkins, who also established an
engineering scholarship in their son’s name
at UNM, won’t be getting their flu shots
here. They already took one for Raymond.

For about two decades, Jerome
Romero has been raising awareness of the dangers of consuming
alcohol during pregnancy.
As program manager for
UNM’s Center on Alcoholism,
Substance Abuse and Addictions,
Romero focuses on preventing
fetal alcohol syndrome, which
happens when women drink alcohol during their pregnancy.
“I go around statewide and I
promote UNM,” he said. “I work a
lot with high school students educating them about fetal alcohol
syndrome. It’s a good fit. You’re
promoting health and wellness
and you’re also promoting going
to school, graduating from high
school and going on to college.”
And his work progresses, as
Romero was appointed as the
acting director of UNM’s Campus Office of Substance Abuse
Prevention two weeks ago.
Romero, 52, has worked at
UNM for 17 years now. Born and
raised in Santa Fe, Romero graduated with a bachelor’s degree
in journalism from New Mexico
State University in 1986 and has
worked with the state’s Developmental Disabilities Planning
Council.
New Mexico has a major
problem with fetal alcohol syndrome, Romero said. He said the
affliction causes mental retardation and physical deformation
in a fetus.
“A fetal alcohol syndrome
brain is 30 percent smaller than
a regular baby’s brain,” he said.
“The alcohol concentrated in that
brain when it was developing,
and eventually, the brain cells,
when they had to migrate into the
brain, there was alcohol there.
The brain cells had to go somewhere else. When the alcohol
evaporates and leaves the brain,
it just leaves empty spaces.”

Rachel Toraño-Mark / Daily Lobo
And awareness is key, Romero
said. That’s why he said he travels
around the state to talk to high
school students about the condition and to encourage them to
moderate their alcohol intake.
But Romero said that through
his positions at the University, he
aims to focus on preventing alcoholism in the state in general.
“I know we’re one of the leaders in the United States with our
alcohol problems,” he said. “The
more you have alcohol more
readily available, the more you’re
going to have people abusing it.
So the more information we can
get, the more preventive things
that we can do.”
To do this, he said COSAP
provides designated-driver programs, which provide participants discounts at restaurants
and free movie tickets. He said
COSAP also holds “Alcohol 101”
lessons in fraternities and sororities and distributes handouts and
brochures on available programs.

Romero said that in the future,
he aims to make COSAP more
visible to students. He encourages the University community
to find out more about his office
and the programs it offers.
Besides his positions at UNM,
Romero has also worked in television. But he said the industry
was too hectic for him, especially
when he had to start a family.
“Working in the TV station is
pretty fun,” he said. “I got to go
into balloons, fly in helicopters
… But working in the TV business
took time away from your personal life. You’re always on call.
It was just really, really busy.”
Romero said he has lived all of
his life in the state. And he loves
it, he said.
“You have great weather,”
he said. “You experience the
elements.”

Fans and supporters of the Albuquerque Comic Expo will be
donating and fundraising alike
this month to participate in the
all-new ACE Kickstarter forum.
Fans who donate $5 or more
will be given access to the
Funder’s Forum, an entire network of other fans and participants who are looking to voice
their ideas and collaborations for
the upcoming convention.
ACE, which happens every June, will be a completely
fan-produced event this time
around.
The convention will now be a
“convention for the fans, by the
fans,” said ACE Director Greg
Derrick.
Monday marked the first
day of the fundraising. ACE has
a $10,000 goal. At press time,
$1,831 have been pledged.
But the contributions that
fans make aren’t reflective of how
much they are able to participate
in the open forums — pitch $5
or $500 and you have the same
voice in the planning process.
However, fans who donate
to the Kickstarter are given other benefits depending on the
amount of their donations.
For the next 30 days of the
fundraiser, Derrick will be
creating a schedule for which

participants can vote, discuss
and collaborate in the Funder’s
Forum.
According to ACE’s Kickstarter
page for the project, the Funder’s
Forum will include Google Hangouts and access to ACE multimedia content in addition to polls
and comment threads.

“This is our show,
we planned this
convention and
it isn’t just some
event going on in
Albuquerque.”
~Greg Derrick
ACE director
“The biggest challenge will be
handling how we present which
guests we are able to bring down
and basically communicating
with the funders the process in
which we go through to get our
guests to come,” Derrick said.
“I think that guests are going to
be the biggest part of the entire
process.”
The fan base, however, is still
given an opportunity to voice
their ideas directly.
In prior years, an open discussion has been held at the end
of the convention so fans can
let Derrick and other ACE staff
know what they liked and what

they didn’t like.
This time around, fans will be
implementing what they want to
see and ultimately what they will
see when the convention actually happens.
“I really hope that people actively participate in the Funder’s
Forum process because I think
that it’s something that people
will really take pride in. They will
be able to say ‘This is our show,
we planned this convention and
it isn’t just some event going on
in Albuquerque,’” Derrick said.
Brandy Yeazell, a participant
and volunteer at previous ACE
conventions, said she was optimistic about the success of the
Forum.
“Albuquerque is a very tightknit community and everybody
knows everybody. Having this
personal, community-oriented
input will be fantastic,” Yeazell
said. “Greg Derrick is really a fan
of everything. He tries so hard to
please everyone with the quality
of people that he brings in.”
Guests are not the only factor
that fans will be voting on.
Pitching ideas on activities
and various selections will also
be on the agenda.
ACE will take place at the Albuquerque Convention Center
June 27 through June 29.
Potential contributors can
find information about the Kickstarter at abqcomicexpo.com.
The fan forum will not begin until the fundraising goal is successfully met.
